    (Like I've shown at the bottom of this blog post)

  • One problem with embedding the photo in the html is that sometimes it won't let you go past it in Compose mode.  The way to get around this is to add <br/> in the HTML mode after where the embedded portion is.

  1. This was fairly simple to make. I wrote out the the bulleted list of what to do and took a snapshot with my iPhone of each step. When I reached the end, I uploaded all of the photos to flickr. Then, in similar fashion to how the tutorial teaches you to embed the photos, I embedded the step by step photos into the bulleted list in HTML mode. I then switched back to Compose mode and resized the images (simply clicked on them which brings up a dialog box where I clicked Medium to resize them). I double checked to make sure the photos were under their correct steps (and corrected the ones that were mistaken).

    I was going to do the video embed method in the same post, but decided to put it in another post that I'll do over the weekend or whenever I have a free minute.
